I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
Uh yeah, there are members of the electoral college who cast individual votes. And they are not required to vote for the candidate who wins the popular vote (though they always do).
That said, Joe seems to be confusing the electoral process with the primary process.
New York State has voted Democratic in every national election since 1988. and only republican six times since the great depression, but maybe you have a point...
I'm fucking Canadian and I know more about the electoral college than this fuck.
Does he know who the electors are? Does he k ow conservatives favor keeping the college and that without it the populous liberal states of California aND New York would have more say?
He's trying to insinuate that he didn't vote for 40 years on principle and by protest. The truth is he was.too busy playing I'm shitty bands trying to be a rock star...and failing.
The only band he should be involved with is a lap band.
I'm a registered Republican, and pretty conservative (outside of social issues), but this is why I'll probably vote for Hillary Clinton. The Libertarians don't present a coherent domestic or international policy either aside from FREE OPIATES! Not that it matters, I live in NYC.
I want a wall built from San Diego to Brownsville. I believe that illegal immigrants aren't a positive influence on our education system. You're injecting poorly educated immigrants' children in to school systems where graduation rates are already poor. It's a recipe for crime.
However, Donald Trump is the worst spokesperson for Republican ideals. We believe in waiting your turn at the embassy for your resident visa. We also don't believe in making a race, mainly Hispanics an enemy.
BroJoe and Ant, like most Trumpkins, represent the very base of voter anger. However, those jobs assembling iPhones are never coming back unless you want to pay $1000 for each handset or $3000 for each 42" Samsung LCD TV.
I think the reality is that this will actually happen if he gets voted in. Doesn't every candidate pander to their fan base up until election, and once in office fucks over the very people that got him in. I think his strategy is pretty genius. According to Vegas, Trump is about a 2.5 to 1 dog right now to win, but he's been pretty invincible from media backlash, and the media is the one pushing these heavily pro Hillary polls. But even the average dummy is accepting the media is full of shit, and I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls out the upset. I think he needs Cali, NY and Fla though to pull off the upset. Not unfathomable.
Of all the people in the political spectrum from worthless, rabid leftists, communists, SJW's, Libertarians, centrists etc I've come to despise you, the 'Principled Conservative', the most. You're the most insufferable, autistic morons on the planet. Your ideals are bullshit, you fail AT EVERY SINGLE EFFORT YOU MAKE TO CONSERVE ANYTHING, then have the temerity to signal how righteous and wonderful you are as the city around you burns and is taken by invading and hostile forces.
I spit on your ideals. You Conservatives - classical liberals, really - are dying. You gave away the country, you've lost and when they erect your tombstone the I will personally seek, each week, to replace your moronic and self-aggrandizing epitaph with an appropriate epithet.
I was more talking about people, like the commenter, who would out of pique vote for the utter enemy of everything they hold dear because the party - and the people!!!! - of their choice didn't select a candidate that, in every way, conformed with their cherished principles.
I'm Right-Wing, not a conservative. There's a big difference. No Right-Wing person can be liberal on social issues like the faggot I was responding to. That's pathetic. That's like saying I'm for war but I only care if the infantry wins.
He's confusing the electoral college which are federal election rules with delegates which are actual people and the system is based on the rules of each individual party. What an idiot.
The more I think about, I think Hillary could get 90% of the vote if she trotted Brother Joe out and just asked people if they want their vote aligning with this piece of shit.
You couldn't be more wrong. It's why trump is so popular. All the lowest common denominators are all in with the trump, and there's a shit ton of them. Joe would become their fucking messiah.
He's so abrasive. Even if you agreed with his dumb points about the Electoral College, how could anyone read this without getting annoyed. I hide anyone on Facebook who is this caustic about politics.
Without reading his idiocy and just looking at it, it's always the most retarded people that have to constantly CAPITALIZE random WORDS. It's like there's zero confidence that your actual words will have the impact you want so you need to highlight it because you think everyone reading it is as dumb as you and won't realize what you're emphasizing. I wouldn't even be mocking a person if they did it once, but this one post had 8 instances lol.
"FAITHLESS ELECTORS" is the TERM for it. It has never ALTERED an ELECTION'S outcome though Richard Mentor Johnson had to be elected VP by the SENATE in 1836 because FAITHLESS ELECTORS left him one VOTE short of 148 needed.
He got them confused, I'm guessing, with the Delegate process for the party election. No big deal. Your system is a little arcane. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Article II, Section 1. of the US Constitution outlines the process of the electorate collage in regards to presidential elections, so this system has been in place since the founding of the nation. So, be it right or wrong, its not "PURE BULLSHIT," its just how the process has always worked. (The Constitution is an easy read, he should consider doing so before spouting off about things he knows nothing about).
I'm out of the loop. Maybe Trump is a weirdo, but what is the problem with him that makes him so hated? On the Howard Stern message board Dawg Shed, during the time Trump won all the votes in April, they were showering him with praise, and laughing that Ted Cruz failed, and we all know how "great" Howard is. Let me know what the problem is besides rumors of him changing the constitution, being a blowhard, hating women (that's been going on for a while now), and appealing to white trash. If all I get is a bunch of thumbs down that my comment becomes hidden, you guys are no different than the assholes who riot at his events (the assholes who fear of getting deported), and you're making me want to vote for Trump. Just because the Cumia assholes are voting for him doesn't really mean a thing.
Plus, I heard some people liking Trump, seeing as he's the lesser of two evils out of the people who are running for presidency.
"Plus, I heard some people liking Trump, seeing as he's the lesser of two evils out of the people who are running for presidency."
Wow, did ya? And you thought this was such a unique take it was worth mentioning? I'm just curious, what fucking election have you ever seen where that wasn't said a million goddamn times?
Maybe I can sum it up this way, Trump is a fucking clown show that has zero self-awareness of how much of an imbecile he is. Opie has no self-awareness either, would you want Opie running the country? I didn't think so.
Really, if you've actually been following the Trump saga and don't already think he's the biggest fucking joke ever to get this far in a presidential run, then I doubt there's anything anyone can say that would change your mind. But I'll give it a go from my own list.
He's a cartoon character. He says completely off the wall shit that is hilariously simple minded. He gets into Twitter wars like an annoying 22 year old twat. Are multiple personality disorders enough to disqualify him in your mind? He's a megalomaniac, pathological liar, narcissist, self aggrandizing and a con artist, just for starters. Don't take my word for it, let a neuroscientist explain it:
His "university" preyed on old and poorly educated people to scam their money, he lied about giving 6 million dollars to the vets, was caught red handed and lied again, he thinks, as president, he can interfere with capitalism and force companies not to do certain things like outsource labor, he thinks that we should end our participation in NATO (NATO has been in place since 1949 and is what we use to keep Russia and several aggressive countries in check, most trump supporters wouldn't even be able to tell you what the fuck NATO is), Russia supports him, North Korea supports him, Iran supports him, he's said women should be punished for having abortions, he's said that Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia should have nuclear weapons. Do you really think he has the mental capacity and temperament to be a fucking president?
Personally, I don't give a fuck about his "racist" and "sexist" views, that's low hanging fruit to attack him on. Hell, I probably agree with most of that shit. But he doesn't know fuck all about running a country for real, he thinks it's all a reality show game and is just going after it because he's a power starved narcissist.
Look I'm not not on your side, but Sean from Season 1 of Survivor was also a neuroscientist.
he's said that Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia should have nuclear weapons.
Why would Japan having them be a problem? They're very developed and democratic and one of our best allies. Is this guy worried about the revenge of the Nips?
Maybe specializing in the biology of the nervous system doesn't inherently make you smarter, any more than specializing in cardiology makes you a sweetheart.
Who the fuck remembers season 1 of survivor let alone references it? All I remember is the fat naked queer that went to jail for tax evasion.
Did you actually read the article? Sentence one says many psychologists, including a Harvard clinical psychologist, say trump is a textbook narcissist. That good enough for ya? I misspoke saying neuroscientist, the article title was in my head.
Treaties began in the 80's to reduce and eliminate nuclear arms. Every president since has publicly stated the goal is to reduce, not increase. Official U'S. policy is to not create new nukes and Congress doesn't approve their funding. Why the fuck would we want any country, Japan or otherwise, get nukes? Kinda counter productive to our own stated goals.
Fair enough. Let me just get one thing completely straight.
You read "psychologist" and remembered it as "neuroscientist"?
Wow.
btw Sean was about the dumbest guy ever to appear on the show. His epic dumbness was underscored by the fact that he was, inexplicably, a neuroscientist. It was a thing.
Anyway shrinks are called that for a reason. They've never been particularly well respected in the scientific community.
No, the title of the article is "A neuroscientist explains...." Which is what I had in my head when I meant psychologist. It was 3am, fuck off.
Yeah most psychologists are probably less respected than say a psychiatrist, however an exception would probably need to be made for a professor of psychology from Harvard. Plus narcissism is probably among the easiest diagnosis in the book and anyone working with the mind could likely accurately diagnose that disorder.
Btw, every single occupational field has its fair share of inexplicable idiots working in it. And only idiots get chosen for reality tv, so ergo....
Those are all good points, and I'm glad you had the gumption to at least share it. See, people are so disillusioned right now with Obama's presidency that with Trump's promises (more jobs, sending Muslims back home, stopping money from going to places where they shouldn't go), there might be hope to get things back on the straight and arrow. My mother, who is the nicest person you'll ever meet and the polar opposite of the Cumia bros., is a supporter of Trump (she watches FOX and Friends), and I showed her what you wrote, and she thinks most of that stuff is misinformation (Russia has been cool with us for the longest time, NATO can't really be shut down [or can it?], blah-blah-blah). Plus, I don't have plans on having kids in the future, so that abortion stuff is irrelevant to me (always wear a condom so it never gets to the point). I just hope she (and I) can make the right decision instead of going along with a group (like the Cumias).
The only people that are disillusioned with the Obama administration are people that don't know what the fuck is actually going on in the country. They buy into all the republican rhetoric and flaming of anger over non existent issues. I don't know many people struggling right now. Obama got back all the jobs and more that were lost during the Bush financial meltdown, he's kicking the shit outta ISIS, I know people with health insurance that haven't had it in years, couple relatives of mine were out of work forever and now have jobs, etc. I don't see where the country is going to complete shit and I think it's all over exaggerated because it's the only way Republicans can keep people on their side. They are playing people like your dear momma, and it works like a charm
Whether trump can actually dissolve NATO is not the point at all, the point is he's nutty enough to say shit like that. He's dumb enough.
None of what I said was misinformation, it's all 100% true, just look it all up. Lot's of the stuff he's since changed his stance on because he got called on it and just shows he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing or saying.
I know you are just fucking around, but I don't give a shit, ill still rail against this retard ever running the country
And I hope you and your mom get aids and die with no health insurance in the trump administration----all due respect, peckahs.
Well, isn't that great. Not only are you saying all this nonsense about Obama doing good for the country (he still outsourced companies to illegal countries and let people from Guantanamo Bay go free), but now you're wishing AIDs upon my mother. I was hoping we'd have a nice open discussion, but now you're acting like how people perceive Trump supporters act.
Not to mention Trump flops on his stances constantly. I read a quote on his Wikipedia that he's against abortions unless it came from rape or it's for medical reasons for the mother. But what other reasons are there? Does he think woman get abortions for fun?
It's frightening how out of touch he is on social issues.
"FAITHLESS ELECTORS" is the TERM for it. It has never ALTERED an ELECTION'S outcome though Richard Mentor Johnson had to be elected VP by the SENATE in 1836 because FAITHLESS ELECTORS left him one VOTE short of 148 needed.
He got them confused, I'm guessing, with the Delegate process for the party election. No big deal. Your system is a little arcane. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

"FAITHLESS ELECTORS" is the TERM for it. It has never ALTERED an ELECTION'S outcome though Richard Mentor Johnson had to be elected VP by the SENATE in 1836 because FAITHLESS ELECTORS left him one VOTE short of 148 needed.

Oh yeah, you're right. I gave him too much credit
1 literalotherkin 2016-06-04
He got them confused, I'm guessing, with the Delegate process for the party election. No big deal. Your system is a little arcane. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
1 AsunaKirito4Ever 2016-06-04
Yeah I wonder how he would feel knowing that if we went by his rules we would have another liberal in office instead of his boy W.
3 McGowan9 2016-06-04
He makes it so easy to dislike him.
3 RectalWarrior 2016-06-04
Does he actually think this is a fresh, original take on the electoral process?
3 RonSwansonsCabin 2016-06-04
The Cumia's really should give up the Internet for their own good.

His grammar alone is enough for him to deserve a painful death.

I'll give him credit for using "cunnilinging" because it has more than two syllables.

Article II, Section 1. of the US Constitution outlines the process of the electorate collage in regards to presidential elections, so this system has been in place since the founding of the nation. So, be it right or wrong, its not "PURE BULLSHIT," its just how the process has always worked. (The Constitution is an easy read, he should consider doing so before spouting off about things he knows nothing about).

It's as if he just heard of the electoral college at the age of 58.

I'm out of the loop. Maybe Trump is a weirdo, but what is the problem with him that makes him so hated? On the Howard Stern message board Dawg Shed, during the time Trump won all the votes in April, they were showering him with praise, and laughing that Ted Cruz failed, and we all know how "great" Howard is. Let me know what the problem is besides rumors of him changing the constitution, being a blowhard, hating women (that's been going on for a while now), and appealing to white trash. If all I get is a bunch of thumbs down that my comment becomes hidden, you guys are no different than the assholes who riot at his events (the assholes who fear of getting deported), and you're making me want to vote for Trump. Just because the Cumia assholes are voting for him doesn't really mean a thing.
Plus, I heard some people liking Trump, seeing as he's the lesser of two evils out of the people who are running for presidency.

Why are you getting so defensive? We're trying to laugh at Joe. Go away.

Oh, please, go ahead and laugh at Joe! I don't give a fuck about him either! Take it easy.

"Plus, I heard some people liking Trump, seeing as he's the lesser of two evils out of the people who are running for presidency."
Wow, did ya? And you thought this was such a unique take it was worth mentioning? I'm just curious, what fucking election have you ever seen where that wasn't said a million goddamn times?
-7 ONAFan2014 2016-06-04
So, you pick one thing apart instead of answering my question. Good job, sir/madam.
I forget who said that stuff about Trump, but it was on this Reddit.

Yuck. Go away faggot.
8 RickMirer3 2016-06-04
I don't hate Trump. I could give a fuck cuz I am Canadian.
But if Joe Cumia came out in favor of blow jobs, I'd be against them too.
0 ONAFan2014 2016-06-04
I can understand. At least you and packitchofsositch can be easy to respond to and rationalize.
5 bluscreened 2016-06-04
ok, ill play along and be serious for a sec.
Maybe I can sum it up this way, Trump is a fucking clown show that has zero self-awareness of how much of an imbecile he is. Opie has no self-awareness either, would you want Opie running the country? I didn't think so.
Really, if you've actually been following the Trump saga and don't already think he's the biggest fucking joke ever to get this far in a presidential run, then I doubt there's anything anyone can say that would change your mind. But I'll give it a go from my own list.
He's a cartoon character. He says completely off the wall shit that is hilariously simple minded. He gets into Twitter wars like an annoying 22 year old twat. Are multiple personality disorders enough to disqualify him in your mind? He's a megalomaniac, pathological liar, narcissist, self aggrandizing and a con artist, just for starters. Don't take my word for it, let a neuroscientist explain it:
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/a-neuroscientist-explains-trump-has-a-mental-disorder-that-makes-him-a-dangerous-world-leader/
His "university" preyed on old and poorly educated people to scam their money, he lied about giving 6 million dollars to the vets, was caught red handed and lied again, he thinks, as president, he can interfere with capitalism and force companies not to do certain things like outsource labor, he thinks that we should end our participation in NATO (NATO has been in place since 1949 and is what we use to keep Russia and several aggressive countries in check, most trump supporters wouldn't even be able to tell you what the fuck NATO is), Russia supports him, North Korea supports him, Iran supports him, he's said women should be punished for having abortions, he's said that Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia should have nuclear weapons. Do you really think he has the mental capacity and temperament to be a fucking president?
Personally, I don't give a fuck about his "racist" and "sexist" views, that's low hanging fruit to attack him on. Hell, I probably agree with most of that shit. But he doesn't know fuck all about running a country for real, he thinks it's all a reality show game and is just going after it because he's a power starved narcissist.
1 packitchofsositch 2016-06-04
Look I'm not not on your side, but Sean from Season 1 of Survivor was also a neuroscientist.
Why would Japan having them be a problem? They're very developed and democratic and one of our best allies. Is this guy worried about the revenge of the Nips?
Maybe specializing in the biology of the nervous system doesn't inherently make you smarter, any more than specializing in cardiology makes you a sweetheart.
4 bluscreened 2016-06-04
Who the fuck remembers season 1 of survivor let alone references it? All I remember is the fat naked queer that went to jail for tax evasion.
Did you actually read the article? Sentence one says many psychologists, including a Harvard clinical psychologist, say trump is a textbook narcissist. That good enough for ya? I misspoke saying neuroscientist, the article title was in my head.
Treaties began in the 80's to reduce and eliminate nuclear arms. Every president since has publicly stated the goal is to reduce, not increase. Official U'S. policy is to not create new nukes and Congress doesn't approve their funding. Why the fuck would we want any country, Japan or otherwise, get nukes? Kinda counter productive to our own stated goals.
-2 packitchofsositch 2016-06-04
Fair enough. Let me just get one thing completely straight.
You read "psychologist" and remembered it as "neuroscientist"?
Wow.
btw Sean was about the dumbest guy ever to appear on the show. His epic dumbness was underscored by the fact that he was, inexplicably, a neuroscientist. It was a thing.
Anyway shrinks are called that for a reason. They've never been particularly well respected in the scientific community.
1 bluscreened 2016-06-04
No, the title of the article is "A neuroscientist explains...." Which is what I had in my head when I meant psychologist. It was 3am, fuck off.
Yeah most psychologists are probably less respected than say a psychiatrist, however an exception would probably need to be made for a professor of psychology from Harvard. Plus narcissism is probably among the easiest diagnosis in the book and anyone working with the mind could likely accurately diagnose that disorder.
Btw, every single occupational field has its fair share of inexplicable idiots working in it. And only idiots get chosen for reality tv, so ergo....

Those are all good points, and I'm glad you had the gumption to at least share it. See, people are so disillusioned right now with Obama's presidency that with Trump's promises (more jobs, sending Muslims back home, stopping money from going to places where they shouldn't go), there might be hope to get things back on the straight and arrow. My mother, who is the nicest person you'll ever meet and the polar opposite of the Cumia bros., is a supporter of Trump (she watches FOX and Friends), and I showed her what you wrote, and she thinks most of that stuff is misinformation (Russia has been cool with us for the longest time, NATO can't really be shut down [or can it?], blah-blah-blah). Plus, I don't have plans on having kids in the future, so that abortion stuff is irrelevant to me (always wear a condom so it never gets to the point). I just hope she (and I) can make the right decision instead of going along with a group (like the Cumias).

The only people that are disillusioned with the Obama administration are people that don't know what the fuck is actually going on in the country. They buy into all the republican rhetoric and flaming of anger over non existent issues. I don't know many people struggling right now. Obama got back all the jobs and more that were lost during the Bush financial meltdown, he's kicking the shit outta ISIS, I know people with health insurance that haven't had it in years, couple relatives of mine were out of work forever and now have jobs, etc. I don't see where the country is going to complete shit and I think it's all over exaggerated because it's the only way Republicans can keep people on their side. They are playing people like your dear momma, and it works like a charm
Whether trump can actually dissolve NATO is not the point at all, the point is he's nutty enough to say shit like that. He's dumb enough.
We are "cool" with Russia? Just last election cycle the Republican candidate Mitt Romney said Russia was the biggest threat to the US at the time. Republicans agreed with it. Now all of a sudden they aren't a problem? They've invaded two countries in the last 10 years, they---you know what, fuck this, just read what NATO and United States military commanders say about Russia being a threat. Putin is a megalomaniac narcissist too, which is why he loves trump. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/21/military-leaders-name-russia-top-threat-us/?page=all http://www.voanews.com/content/nato-breedlove-russia/3214721.html
None of what I said was misinformation, it's all 100% true, just look it all up. Lot's of the stuff he's since changed his stance on because he got called on it and just shows he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing or saying.
I know you are just fucking around, but I don't give a shit, ill still rail against this retard ever running the country
And I hope you and your mom get aids and die with no health insurance in the trump administration----all due respect, peckahs.
1 ONAFan2014 2016-06-04
Well, isn't that great. Not only are you saying all this nonsense about Obama doing good for the country (he still outsourced companies to illegal countries and let people from Guantanamo Bay go free), but now you're wishing AIDs upon my mother. I was hoping we'd have a nice open discussion, but now you're acting like how people perceive Trump supporters act.
That being said, have a nice day.
1 bluscreened 2016-06-04
Good day!
1 qdpbog 2016-06-04
Not to mention Trump flops on his stances constantly. I read a quote on his Wikipedia that he's against abortions unless it came from rape or it's for medical reasons for the mother. But what other reasons are there? Does he think woman get abortions for fun?
It's frightening how out of touch he is on social issues.
